about

This one is about feeling stuck in life and longing for things to be different. At times, I just wanted to give up and start over. But while caught in the struggle, you learn to get through the hopeless moments by talking it through with people you trust. In terms of the progression of the album, this opens up the last three songs, which focus on healing and coming to terms with myself.

lyrics

I wish I was someone else
I’m so tired of being myself
And I wish that I could take this baggage
And put it on the shelf

I wish I was somewhere else
I’m so tired of being here
Every day I get to thinking that
I’m running out of years

Pardon me, I’m trying to let it be
Late at night still caught up in this fight
Still I try, I’m so happy that you stopped by
Let me speak my mind today
These crazy thoughts, in time, will go away

I wish I was someone else
I’m so tired of being myself
Everything has started piling up
I’m feeling overwhelmed

I wish I was somewhere else
I’m so tired of living in hell
Anyday I’ll hit the reset button
You know it’s just as well

All of me, I’m trying to let you see
Hold on tight, there’s time to get this right
Still I try, I’m so happy that you stopped by
Let me speak my mind today
These crazy thoughts, in time, will go away

Pardon me, I’m trying to let it be
Late at night still caught of in this fight
Still I try, I’m so happy that you stopped by
Let me speak my mind today
These crazy thoughts, in time, will go away
